1. Ilatudoo's Saystirying Bicycle Trick That
Really Is SOISPIr.
Paris can't understand how this Ori-
ental of grave and dignified aspect
does it. Efe arrived in Paris recently,
and did many extraordinary things,
•but none, excited more wonder than the
bicyele trick.' Dressed in the flimsY
garments of his race, tbe fakir would
appear before a select audience, and,
spreading a shawl on the darpet,
woelcl go through a series of mysteri-
ous movements calculated to convince
the most unbelieving member of the
audience that something extraordin-
ary was about to happen. Then the
/Endo° would. crawl beneath the shawl
and remain there for a few minutes,
singing Oriental airs of a weird na4
iture, until suddenly the shawl would
begin to move upward and gradually
assume a tent -like appearancce. From
beneath his tent there would present-
ly emerge theIlindoo, dressed no long-
er in his Hindoo garments of diaphan-
ous materiaL but rigged in a bicycle
suit, and, climax of wonders, holding
in his hand a bicycle of the latest
model. This bicycle the fakir would
hand around for inspection, and the
audience,‘ to their amazement. would
find no sign of any collusion on the
part of the machine. Apparently it
was an up-to-date wheel, capable of
taking any member of the company
on a century run, no matter what the
avoirdupois of the rider.
To convinces' the audience that there
was no deception, the Hindoo would
ask permission of the hostess to ride
the wheel, and. permission being grant-
ed, would mount and

A reconnoissance having failed to
draw the Boers out. from their de-
fences at Biandslaagte, on Saturday,
at daybreak, Gen:" French advanced
against them with a small force. The
troope were conveyed in an armoured
,train to Elandslaagte, and reached a
p•oeition seven hundred yards from the
station.
. The Boer main force was posted up-
on an extremely rough and rooky
range ot hills, runnieg at right angles
to the railway, over a tune further
north. This chain of hills, which is
several , bunclred feet high above the
swelling Plain, has a conical hill ris-
ing from a wide dip in the range. This
left two narrow necks on either side,
of the base of this conked hill, where
the Boers had their camp waggons and
tents. Half way up the necks their
guns were in position, two, of Liman in
the last neck, which afforded the best
range. „.
Gen. French began the action about
half -past aix o'clock in the morning
by sending ashen from a 7 -pounder
into the station shed, while the
emounted volunteers began firing at
the Boers, who were running to take
up• their positions. The enemy had

The Gordon Highlanders say that the
Elandslaagte action was a very severe
one, Dargai a fool to it.
Our prisoners number fully three
hundred. I saw eight dead Gordon
Highlanders lying in one heap. Boers
declare the kilts make the men con-
spicuous, but that the khaki is diffi-
cult to loctate. The enemy ask where
our' redcoats are.
Reports which have been obtained
from; Boer sources say that out of one
commando only 250 men are left, the
hospitals are full, and their losses are
perhaps a thousand.
All of our wounded and prisoners
have been brought to Ladysmith,
velaere there are ample hospital ac-
commodations for them. Electric
lights have been fitted up, also Roent-
gen ray apparatus.
All day tong the streets have re-
sounded with cheering as our troops

PHYSICAL PAIN AS A LEVELLER
An Old Surgeon Says That Mental Suffer
hip; is Much Baster to Bear, -frol
"One frequently hears it saad," re-
marked a veteran surgeon, "that men-
tal suffering ie a great deal harder to
bear than physical suffering, but the
people who naa,ke the a,ssertion are
usually people who khow very little
about bodily pain. They have a vague
idea that a capacity for mental an-
guish indicates a fine, high-strung
about a. sensitiveness to physical dis-
comfort. Such a theory is pure rub-
bish, and the f apes in a general way
are quite to the contrary.
"It is your thoroughbred, your
refined, highly intellectual person, who
is most susceptible to brute pain, and
your rough, illiterate, dull-witted 1 el
kw, Who is driven to distraction by
a tormwateci mind. I suppose the ex-
planation is that the stupid, unedti-
nated man, is unable to bring any phil-
osophy to bear on his troubles, while
on the other hand the nerves of the
cultured chap have been sharpened by
civilizetion. But as far as my obser-
vation goes, pain, physkal pain, is the
great leveller. 33e the forna what it
may --hunger, thirst, exhauetion or the
agony of wounded flesh -a given am-
ount of it wit) reduce all men to about
the same ptatus. I beg to doubt
whether there is a single Lite- "
man being who can retain his or ha
nobility of character under long -con-
tinued bodily distress. Ob. yes; I know
what you are going to say -that there
are hanalids and cripples whose tem-
per has been only sweetened by yea,ra
af torture. S•atia cases peeve nothing,
nothing at all. They think they are
suffering.continually, but they are not.
